SpamExperts performs extensive analysis on the IP addresses of both the sender’s mail server and the actual sender of the message. This includes, but is not limited to, DNS blacklisting both publicly available and part of the SpamExperts global platform. Emails only get rejected if a combination of factors indicates a message is spam to ensure that a single wrong listing will not block any legitimate messages.

SpamExperts performs extensive analysis on the behavior of the sender’s mail server. Many spammers do not follow the official protocol for sending email, which allows us to block some spam at the initial stage of the email transfer progress. Moreover, by purposely causing very small delays in the email transfer (only for suspicious connections), the costs for the spammers (some simply give up waiting) increase, thereby reducing the amount of spam sent.

SpamExperts uses advanced DNS blacklisting to help identify spam. Both public and private databases are used. You do not have to be afraid an email will get blocked if an IP is on just one list. Only with a high score in combination with our other filters results in rejection of the message.
